Sleeping Dogs is now available on Xbox Live’s digital distribution service, Games on Demand. Priced at $44.99, here is the game’s description:

“Welcome to Hong Kong, a vibrant city whose exotic locations hide one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the Triads.You play Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside. You’ll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover. In time, you will risk everything as the lines between truth, loyalty and justice become permanently blurred.”

The languages supported are English, French and Spanish and the file is 6.02GB large. The game hit retail in August and since then has received generally favorable reviews. GiantBomb gave it a 4/5, saying that “So perhaps Sleeping Dogs isn’t one of those games you’ll want to keep on playing long after you’ve seen its story’s conclusion. But while you’re engaged with that story, this is an effective open-world experience, filled with interesting characters, some exciting action, and enough unpredictability to keep you hooked. It might feel familiar, but that doesn’t make it any less fun.”

IGN was also impressed with the game, giving it a 8.5: “Sleeping Dogs does some things better than even the cream of the crop, and its story will be what keeps you focused on playing. The fact that the game happens to play well is simply icing on the cake.”
